Second WarGames Match Revealed For Takeover, Cruiserweight Championship Set For Next Week

- Angel Garza vs. WWE NXT Cruiserweight Champion Lio Rush is now official for next Wednesday's NXT episode on the USA Network.

Garza defeated WWE 205 Live Superstar Tony Nese on tonight's NXT episode to become the new #1 contender to Rush. The post-match angle saw Rush meet Garza on the NXT Arena stage and offer his hand for a shake, but Garza responded with a stiff slap across the face.

Next Wednesday's match will be the first title defense for Rush since he won the title from Drew Gulak on the October 9 NXT episode.

- A second WarGames match has been confirmed for the upcoming WWE NXT "Takeover: WarGames 2019" event featuring the male Superstars.

The match will see The Undisputed Era (Captain and NXT Champion Adam Cole, NXT North American Champion Roderick Strong, NXT Tag Team Champions Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly) take on Captain Tommaso Ciampa, Keith Lee, Matt Riddle and a mystery partner to be revealed.

In other WarGames news, Rhea Ripley has named Mia Yim as her final member. There's no word yet on the final member of Team Baszler.
